Restful and Beautiful Retreat

You can't beat this home for a wonderful family vacation, or girls' get-away. Steps from the beach, restaurants, coffee shops and shopping, this retreat offers the perfect location to unwind and explore this historic area.. The home is well appointed with beatiful, comfortable furniture, and the kitchen is stocked for easy preparation of family meals.

We enjoyed excursions to nearby Charleston, kayaking, horseback riding, walks on the beach, and exploring some of the best restaurants around.

Morning coffee in the rocker on the front porch, is a must. The owner has definitely put attention to the cleanliness and comfort of this vacation property. The matresses are top quality, making for a most restful stay.

We will most certainly be returning to this gem of a vacation home for a future retreat.

Great Spot, Convenient location, clean and comfort

Property is very conveniently located off Center St steps away from shops and restaurants. The beach and pier are only a 5 minutes walk away. The manager was very attentive and provided detailed instructions. Be aware to follow the directions because they are very strict. We left the place extremely clean but got charged for not cleaning the inside of fridge. Owner claimed we spilled something and it took cleaners 20 minutes to clean at a cost of $25. I wish we would have taken the 2 minutes required to clean the mystery spill. Fridge was clean when we got there, freezer was half full of food from previous tenants and owners food. We also misread the directions and failed to move the garbage bin with 1.5 bags of garbage 25 ft to the road. $25 charge to bring the bin out and back. Not sure how I would have brought it back after I left. I would also understand if they missed collection but they did not. I could claim that I had to bring the bin back from the road when we arrived and charge 12.50 but we are not that petty.

Overall condition of the place was great, kitchen was well stocked, beautifully decorated. Hand towels were clean but need replacing due to age, grill needed cleaning, entry light and storm door in need of repair, spare bedroom beds were quite sandy but it is the beach. The Master bedroom shares a wall with an attached townhouse and it was very noisy on a Friday Evening/Saturday evening which was unfortunate since we had to wake early for the annual bridge run. We won't personally stay again but I would recommend to others. Just follow the directions.

Owner's Response: So sorry your stay wasn't the "excellent" that we strive to provide. The instructions for payments and checkout are in the lease. Checkout lists are also in the welcome letter and on the frig, stating that excess cleaner duties are subject to a charge. The payment schedules and checkout list must be confusing. The instructions are based on experience, and are to provide an enjoyable stay for everyone. We arrived for our monthly deep clean mid afternoon and understood why the cleaners charged us the additional fees. Tenants are asked to place trash cans for pickup in order to have empty cans for the next tenant, the can was 2/3 full. The cleaning people put the cans back under the house the next day because cans left more than one day are fined by Folly Beach. We apologize, the storm door opened, broke and broke the light in high winds the week before and is now fixed. We love our Folly Beach house, it was built in 2005, renovated in 2014 and we work extra hard not to be a typical rental but to be a great experience.

Comfortable, clean and very convenient!

The house was very clean and in such a great location!! One block to town and two blocks to the beach. Our group included 6 couples and the house was a great size to accommodate us! With three bedrooms and two baths, we had plenty of space to spread out. The emailed welcome kit from the owner was very straight forward and easy to understand and everything with the house worked out wonderfully! We will definitely be booking another stay here!

Great place!

This is great place for a family. It's an easy walk to beach and half a block to "downtown." The house is in excellent condition and well furnished. It had everything needed to make our stay very enjoyable.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the kind review. The home is our familiy's second home and we love it, decorate and furnish it with comfort, relaxation and enjoyment in our thoughts. Great beds...that was very important! We too LOVE a short walk to everything...including Bert's for a yummy hot dog and coke! Please come again!

Just what we were looking for!

My husband and I were planning a trip to Charleston to renew our wedding vows and decided to invite 4 of our friends. Rather than looking for separate hotels, we thought it would be nice for us all to stay together. We looked at numerous houses before finding this one, but we found just what we were looking for. This house is very nice, many upgrades and close to the beach. We were able to walk to the beach as well as to some of the locals' favorite places to eat and hang out. We will definitely stay here again!

Folly Beach is a barrier island that is 6 miles long and located only 15 minutes to Historical Charleston. Folly Beach is known for sea, sand and surfing with wide sandy beach, fishing pier, a state park at the island's end , Morris Island Lighthouse and a town lined with novelty and seafood restaurants plus an active nightlife! Charleston offers a variety of historical and cultural sites plus an award winning Aquarium, fabulous designer and boutique shopping and a foodie delight in Chef owned local restaurants. Folly Beach offers many events year round to include Sea and Sand Festival, Fishing Tournaments, Folly Palooza, St Paddys Day Pub Crawl and charitable and cultural events. Charleston has monthly events to include Fashion Week, BB&T Charleston Wine and Food Festival, Annual Festival of House and Gardens, Spoleto and Low Country Jazz Festivals, Family Cup Tennis Tournament and more. The Charleston area offers many opportunities for all members of a family!

Notes:

Renovated home in March 2014- Brazillian cherry hardwood on 2 levels, freshly painted inside/outside, mix of furnishing ...family antiques and new furniture plus luxury top of the line pillowtop mattresses. Sun lit rooms, set back off the road within 1 block of time and 2 blocks to the beach. Ceramic bathrooms, maple kitchen cabinetry, ceramic floors and stainless appliances. THIS ISNT A TYPICAL RENTAL...this is in excellent condition, well maintained and loved, exceptionally clean. Guests are provided with a kitchen full of pots, pans, wok, waffle maker, food processor, rice cooker and some spices and pantry items. The home will have paper towels, toilet paper, laundry and dish soap. There are beach towels and some beach chairs plus some children's beach toys. Guests are asked to wash and return beach towels to the bin. A private outside shower is wonderful with body wash and shampoo provided. We are a home away from home!
